(ANSA) - BELGRADE - Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic
began holding talks with representatives from political parties
in order to appoint a new premier, who will take his place at
the helm of the government.
Vucic has been head of government for three years, since 2014
until a few days ago when, after the big success in the first
round in the presidential elections held on April 2, he resigned
before the oath of office on May 31. The first deputy prime
minister and foreign minister Ivica Dacic was appointed as
interim premier.
It is expected that the name of the new premier will be known
in mid-June, and a mini-government reshuffle has not yet been
ruled out Aleksandar Vucic's official inauguration ceremony is
scheduled in Belgrade for June 23, and it will be attended by
numerous heads of state and government of other countries, not
only from the Balkan region. (ANSA).
